Culture is omnipresent

Salurn is history you can touch. In the winding alleys, Baroque town houses and ornate façades tell of an eventful past. Haderburg Castle 🏰 sits 125 metres above the town centre on a limestone cliff in the Geierwände mountains, transporting you back to the Middle Ages, while traditional festivals fill the here and now with music, regional cuisine and genuine hospitality. Here, culture is not just on display – it is lived.
